ARGS Statement—Define Argument Values to Pass (Oracle E-Business Suite Jobs)

The ARGS statement defines the argument values to override Oracle Applications default values.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Oracle E-Business Suite job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

ARGS argument[,argument...]

argument

Defines each argument value to pass to an Oracle Applications single request. In Oracle Applications, arguments are part of the program definition and are found in the Concurrent Program Parameters dialog.

Notes:

• You can specify up to 100 arguments, separated by commas.
• Do not add a space after a comma, unless the argument value starts with a space.
• To use a default value defined in Oracle Applications, enter one comma in the argument position and specify Y in the ARGDEFAULTS statement. Do not add spaces between commas.
• The entire value can be up to 4078 characters. If your list of arguments is over the total maximum of 4078 characters, split it into multiple ARGS statements. These multiple statements will be concatenated using commas.
• You can specify up to 100 ARGS statements in the job definition.

Example: Pass Argument Values

In this example, the ARGS statement passes values for the first, third, and fifth arguments. Since the ARGDEFAULTS statement is set to Y, the agent passes default values to the second and fourth arguments.
